    Marantz MR235 Speaker Select Pushbutton Disaster

    Hey folks, I’m getting into receiver repair (only done recapping and basic adjustments on turntables before) and have a really barebones tinkering setup (I solder on the floor in an oven tray, don’t worry I have a standing fan). Exposition aside I got a nice looking Marantz MR235 for 50 bucks...

    Amp and tuner or reciever

    I am currently looking at the Yamaha A-S701 with a NAD C427 tuner vs. Yamaha R-N800A. My concern is in the quality of the tuner in the reciever. I miss the 70's and would love my old school stuff back. I wish money wasn't a issue but would like to stay under 2K. I could really use unbiased...

    Sony Str-6045

    I have an opportunity to get a Sony Str-6045 for 300 Canadian. Its not easy to find accurate specs but I think I did and it has pretty poor SNR on MM phono (important) 60db, and the other two aren't great either. Is it worth it? Would I be happy with the sound? I am learning so I could be...

    Realistic STA-84 left volume controlling both channels

    Hi, I'm having some issues with my Realistic STA-84 receiver. I bought it used and it's always done this, but I've noticed that the left volume control changes both audio channel volumes. The right one will change the higher frequencies and create a tinny distortion. I'm pairing the matching...

    GE Model 402 Power Supply Hum Even With Filters Replaced

    I’ve been working on this old GE Broadcast Band Superhet AA5 receiver from the late 1940s, early 50’s. I decided to get into a full restore instead of just simply servicing it and for a while, all was going well. The light socket had to be replaced as it had internally shorted, which was no big...

    "Working" receiver does not put out any audio

    I have recently come into the possession of a Kyocera R-861 receiver. It was sold as "working". It looks like a very lovely machine. The wood-grain paneling could use a little love, but I will fill in the broken-up edges with wood putty and carefully paint it to match the veneer. Won't be...

    Yamaha CR-620 or 420 works as an amp, right?

    I have a Yamaha YPD6 that run through a shitty rolls vp29 preamp, and want to upgrade. I was looking at this Yamaha CA 410/610 that a local record shop has at 410:150$ and 610:175$. Saw a forum online that had someone who bought both a CA 410 and a CR610 and people in the comments said the 410...

    Crackling on receiver Volume Pot

    I have an old Pioneer SX-737. When I power up and turn up the volume, I get an annoying crackle out of the right channel. It only occurs low on the volume pot's range and goes away after working the pot back and forth a few times. A while back when I had it open to replace some transistors, I...

    Bogen BR-360 - A curious GW find

    Picked this unit up last night for $15.75 at the Goodwill. It was a diamond in the rough, covered with 50 years’ worth of fingerprints, grime and dust. I could tell that it was in decent shape, It powered up, with dial lights, and it was heavy and mega solid so I bought it. First thoughts...

    Speakers connected to JVC AX-R97 get quiet when you turn on Rear (aka B or Remote Set)

    Long story short(ish), as soon as you turn on the secondary set of speakers on my JVC reciever, the primary speakers lose almost all mids and treble (sound muddy). I discovered this issue when attempting to add a sub with an integrated amp, but if you press the button to turn on the secondary...
